OGI 1-1 - A Social Media Blueprint: Using Social Media To Further Mission

Social media is all the rage, and with the White House's issuance of the Open Government Directive, the time is ripe for federal agencies to utilize these tools to improve government effectiveness and strengthen public trust in government. Used effectively, social media tools can strengthen the values that the Directive seeks to further - transparency, participation, and collaboration. However, ineffective use of social media can be distracting, time-consuming and counterproductive for agencies. How can agencies use social media tools effectively to further their missions, gain efficiencies and show success? Attendees to this lively and interactive session will collaboratively develop a blueprint for effective, strategic utilization of social media.
